Glaizit — Case Study by Encriss Technologies
Digital Platform for Creative Workflow, Community & Intelligent Material Exploration
Overview
Glaizit is a digital pottery studio platform designed for ceramic artists, hobbyists, and professional studios—bringing organization, experimentation, learning, and community collaboration into a single digital ecosystem across Web, iOS, and Android.
Encriss Technologies partnered to conceptualize and build a scalable, mobile-first creative productivity platform that combines:
- Material intelligence for glaze exploration
- Visual planning for collections and ideas
- Community-driven inspiration and collaboration
Glaizit transforms how ceramic workflows are planned, documented, and shared—replacing fragmented manual processes with a structured digital studio.
Mission Statement
To make ceramic art accessible, organized, and inspiring for everyone—
from first-time learners to professional potters—using intelligent digital tools that replace fragmented manual workflows.
Core Value Proposition
- Replace notebooks and spreadsheets with structured digital studio management
- Enable discovery of glaze and material combinations through searchable intelligence
- Foster global collaboration and peer learning via a built-in creative community
- Support experimentation without losing historical test data or firing results
1. Problem Identification
Ceramic artists and studios globally face operational and creative bottlenecks:
- Loss of glaze recipes, firing parameters, and experimental results over time
- Difficulty comparing glaze combinations across materials and kiln conditions
- Fragmented learning (tutorials, references, inspiration scattered across platforms)
- No structured digital workspace for planning collections or studio production
- Limited tools for instructors to track student experiments and learning progress
Business Opportunity
Despite the scale of the global ceramics community, there was no dominant platform that combined:
- Workflow management,
- Community collaboration, and
- Material intelligence
into one integrated product. Glaizit was designed to fill this gap.
2. Product Summary
Platform Footprint
- Public Website: discovery, education content, app downloads, onboarding funnels
- Mobile Apps (iOS & Android): core creative workflow, material management, community interaction
Key Features
- Smart Shelf: recommends glaze combinations based on owned materials + prior outcomes
- Glaze Database: searchable catalog of commercial glazes with firing benchmarks
- Idea Boards: visual workspace for sketches, references, mood boards, collection planning
- Draft Combinations: private experimentation before publishing
- Material Glossary: searchable clay bodies, additives, and material references
- Community Gallery: global feed with likes, comments, creator profiles, discovery tags
Primary Users: beginners, professional potters, studio owners, instructors, design schools.
3. Technology & Product Architecture
Front-End Architecture
- Cross-platform mobile framework enabling shared business logic across iOS and Android
- Design-system driven UI components for rapid feature iteration
- Offline-first data capture to support studio environments with limited connectivity
Backend & Data Services
- Cloud-native REST and GraphQL APIs for mobile and web clients
- Media pipelines for image uploads, compression, and annotations
- User identity, profiles, and social graph services
- Telemetry and analytics for feature optimization and growth funnels
Intelligent Material Features (AI Layer)
- Recommendation algorithms based on material compatibility + prior outcomes
- Metadata-driven matching of glaze chemistry and firing profiles
- Foundation for future predictive firing outcome simulations
4. Automation & Semiconductor Enablement
While Glaizit is a creative software platform, it aligns tightly with physical production environments where kilns, temperature controllers, and material processing equipment operate using embedded semiconductor-based control systems.
Future-ready pathways include:
- Digital traceability of material batches and firing cycles
- Integration with kiln controllers and IoT temperature sensors
- Edge data ingestion pipelines for firing telemetry
- AI models leveraging sensor data for outcome prediction and optimization
This positions Glaizit for expansion into smart studio automation and hardware-integrated creative workflows—aligned with Encriss Devices’ roadmap for sensor-enabled systems.
5. User Journey & Experience
Primary User Segments
- Hobbyists and home studio artists
- Professional ceramic designers and studios
- Training institutes and academic programs
Core Journey Flow
- Discovery: website → App Store / Play Store acquisition
